Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1cs10 Update for Mac OS X 10.4 (PPC)

For Qualified M-Audio Devices with Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1 for Mac OS X 10.4 ("Tiger") for PowerPC-Based Macs Only

This update will not work without Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1 for qualified M-Audio devices on Mac OS X 10.4 already installed.

What's Fixed in Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1cs10?

Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1cs10 for Mac OS X contains the following:

Fixed: Importing Files By Drag and Drop Could Prevent The Session From Being Saved (Item #80417) MP3, MP4, WAV and AIFF were affected. A subsequent Save, Save As, Save A Copy or Auto-Backup would result in an assertion error.

This problem was inadvertently introduced in Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1cs9. Fixed: Standard Type 1 MIDI files, exported from Pro Tools 7.x, could not be read by some applications (item #71254) Fixed: Relink Problems When Using Mtools, Soundminer, or NetMix to import files (Item #81138) Using "Automatically Copy on Import" created a duplicate file only when using Soundminer. Only the Pro Tools-created file (with an appended "2") was assigned a Unique ID. No Unique ID was being added to files imported by Mtools or Netmix. The relink problems would occur when reopening the session.

Fixed: Problems When Launching in a Microsoft Active Directory Configuration (Item #75908) When using local storage the error posted was "Unable to Locate Digidesign Hardware."

This fix was previously issued in Pro Tools 7.1cs7, but failed in later versions due to an installer problem.

Fixes Included from Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1cs9

Fixed: Volumes with Japanese Naming Will Not Mount in DigiBase (Item #73463) Volumes with Japanese naming will not mount in DigiBase and will not allow you to create a Pro Tools session without an error. It was also not possible to create a Pro Tools session on a Japanese-named volume without getting an error.

Fixed: Some Automation Moves Could Be Written Incorrectly when Writing Immediately after a "Play" Command (Item#78032) This could occur when touching a control immediately after a "play" command, but before the transport started moving.

Fixed: Potential Problems when Relinking Audio Files (Item #77061, #79230) If DigiTranslator was not installed, Pro Tools would assign a new unique ID to a copy of an Avid audio file when using "Save A Copy." This was because Pro Tools required DigiTranslator to read Avid unique IDs. Files without unique IDs imported into Pro Tools could not be later relinked if the file name had later been changed by the user from the Finder level. Pro Tools will now function in the following way:

? Automatically add a unique ID (as needed) to audio files when opening a session or importing audio. ? Recognize Avid unique IDs, even when DigiTranslator is not installed.

DigiTranslator is not compatible with Pro Tools M-Powered software. Fixed: When Using Network Home Directories, Pro Tools Would Not Launch if the Library/Preferences Directories Were Not on a Local File System (Item #78524) Network Home Directories are sometimes used to provide the same settings and files to users on multiple machines on a network. This fix allows the Library/Preferences Directories to be on a Network Home Directory instead of being required to be on the individual local system.

Fixes Included from Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1cs8

Fixed: Some International Characters Were Not Allowed in Pro Tools 7 Sessions (Item #71269, #76222) German, Norwegian, Swedish, and French/French Canadian characters were affected. DigiBase search criteria was also affected.

Fixes Included from Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1cs7

Fixed: Using "Import Session Data" and Choosing "Consolidate From Source Media" Would Post an Error (Item #72604) The error posted was "Could not complete your request because Assertion in Cmn_Interval.cpp, line 210."

Fixed: "Unexpected Quit" when Launched from a Non-Admin or Second Admin User Account (Item #75059) The quit would occur after the Pro Tools icon bounced in the dock for a while.

Fixed: Problems when Launching in a Microsoft Active Directory Network User Configuration (Item #75908) When using local storage the error posted was "Unable to Locate Digidesign Hardware."

Fixed: Music Production Toolkit Would Not Work with Non-Admin Accounts (Item #75621) The installer was not setting permissions correctly for the enabler files. See "Additional Download for Optional Music Production Toolkit Owners" below for Music Production Toolkit cs7 installer.

Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1cs7 was the first CS release for Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1 (there were no cs1 through cs6 releases for M-Powered version 7.1).

Additional Download for Optional Music Production Toolkit Owners

(Not Included with this Pro Tools M-Powered CS Download) The Music Production Toolkit cs7 installer fixes the following problem encountered with the original Toolkit installer:

Music Production Toolkit Would Not Work with Non-Admin Accounts (Item #75621) ? The installer was not setting permissions correctly for the enabler files. ? This installer requires that you have Pro Tools M-Powered 7.1cs7, 7.1cs8, 7.1cs9, or 7.1cs10 installed.

If you have already installed the Music Production Toolkit successfully on your Mac admin account, there is no need to download the cs7 installer. There are no changes to the actual software, only the installer behavior. The Music Production Toolkit file in your Digidesign/Pro Tools folder remains at version 7.1:

? MusicProductionToolkit.bundle

Do Not Use This Toolkit Installer Unless You Already Own the Music Production Toolkit This Toolkit installer requires that you already have purchased the iLok license for Music Production Toolkit. The software will not work without the required iLok license. There is no demo mode available.
